A Little About Us

 
 

Kim’s Service Department is Santa Barbara’s newest gathering spot, located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara just blocks from the beach. Originally home to an automotive service department and dealership in the 1920s and ‘30s, it’s been re-imagined as a dynamic, mixed-use space. Featuring Santa Barbara’s own Shaker Mill cocktails and Cubaneo restaurant plus a curated retail shop Gear as well as San Diego’s celebrated Modern Times Brewery. This is the place for locals and visitors to meet up and get serviced — whether with food, drink, shopping or a good time with friends.

 
 

Our History

From a run-down building to an indoor/outdoor lounge, Kim’s is brought to you by the Santa Barbara based Miramar Group who is also behind the Waterline in the Funk Zone. Our team includes some of the best contractors, developers, buyers and designers in town, all personally invested in providing an exceptional experience. As with all of our projects, we hope our love for this town is felt in every aspect of the property. We’re also thrilled to be able to pay tribute to a Santa Barbara leader, who prefers to remain anonymous, but whose name is on the building. See you at Kim’s.
